Success turns a lot of people off. I have a pretty solid sense of joy and respect that irritates people, and can irritate me, too.

So I watched the Pink Panther last night, and so I'm trying desperately to be funny, and then it's just not working out so good... I wonder if maybe I could've been a comedian or something like that, or maybe I could've been a doctor, then I wouldn't have to make anyone laugh.

I'll be back 'round again, yes, I'll walk in time with you, old friend. And we'll find that place that we had danced in so long ago.

A dream is a massive magic trick of the mind. No amount of science could explain away the mysterious wonder.

I use God in my songs a lot but I don't have a relationship. I don't know what that means.

I think some people would say that I do overwhelm the words with the music, and sometimes thank goodness I do.

I think I'm probably a very sad man wrapped in a very joyful package, and I think I'm very resilient, and I think I'm quite generous, sometimes to a fault. And I'm very bad with money, but I don't see that too much of a flaw.
